Chapter 647: Kong Xuan and Golden Roc Came in Pursuit
"Su Nu, what are you saying? Going to the Iron-Eating Forest is something I should... of course I should do. Stay in the palace and protect His Majesty and the princess." Li Luo was a man, after all, and her senior brother. How could he let his junior sister take the risk? Besides, the princess who needed saving was the woman he loved deeply. He should go. Frightened though he was, it still ought to be him.
Hearing this, Su Nu gave him another look, then slowly shook her head. "Senior Brother, my mind is made up. I'll go to the Iron-Eating Forest. You stay in the palace and protect His Majesty and the princess."
With that, Su Nu turned and walked straight out of the bedchamber. With a whoosh, she rode a cloud away.
Although she had yet to enter the human immortal realm, flying was still easy enough for her.
"Su Nu! Su Nu!" Seeing his junior sister leave without another word, Li Luo hurriedly called after her and was about to chase her outside, but the king caught hold of him.
"Your Majesty?"
"Li Luo, you and Su Nu are the mage and witch of our Youqiong Kingdom. Now that Su Nu has left, if you leave too, what will we do if demons invade? You cannot go. You must remain here to protect the Youqiong Kingdom," the king told him.
"But Your Majesty, Su Nu..." Li Luo was deeply worried.
"Su Nu's witch power is no weaker than yours. If she encounters danger, your going would be of no use either. Let that settle it. Ah, my poor Xiang Yao!" As he spoke, the king turned toward his daughter lying on the cushioned couch and sighed.
